It is full tang and has been extremely durable. I don't have anything to measure it with right now, but it isn't too thick and def isn't too thin to be useless. I love this knife and give it as gifts to my friends.

Yes it is full tang. As of yet I have had no problems with the blade holding its edge, the blade is made of Pakistani stainless steel. I've used it for batoning firewood and chopping down small trees, it works great for me.

It is full tang. One of the best knife purchases I have ever made. Be sure to check state and county laws regarding this "quality cutting tool"

Yes it is full tang. Holds a edge well and best fit and finish in this price range.

Its pretty thick havent exacrtly measured it but its very very durable...doesnt chip easily either. It is probably one of the sharpest knifes i own if taken care of properly. This knife can handle a lot.

I have had it now for about a year (can't remember exactly when I bought it) and it is holding up great. I have sharpened the blade a few times and tightened the pocket clip bolts but other than that I haven't had any issues. It has been a really good knife.

Its a full tang. I own one and my son owns one.. They are awesome! My son carried his in the field in the Army and beat it to death. You wont break it, he dug holes pounded tent stakes and chopped with it for a year and its still in good shape. I wouldnt worry about being made in Taiwan. Taiwanese quality is great.. They make wonderful knives there.

It is not a quarter inch thick. You are thinking of the esee 5 by Rowen. Jeff randall knife

It is a great knife, I generally use it in the kitchen or for skinning and butchering large wild game. The newer models aren't as sturdy as the older models but they are still a good full tang knife with a sturdy handle. Easily sharpened but blade thickness is slim so not practical for wood and they rust easily.

This knife is very dependable. The handle is perfectly textured and stays secure in your hand even when wet. The edge that comes on the blade when purchased is excellent. The blade is also nicely shaped to be able to put a new edge on easily. (largely why I purchased the knife.) The hinge connecting the blade to the handle is sturdier than most everyday carry knifes I have owned. However if you are going to be using the blade to pries or lever with your best bet is always a full tang knife. The Steel is Kershaws high quality USA and is better than any other import steel you will find so no worries there. Overall a great knife that should last you as long as you need it.

The knife is pretty durably, but the sides can can be scratch by hardwood. The overall construction was sturdy, and the handle was properly secured. Hope this helps. Cheers

I am not 100% sure but I can't imagine this knife not being full tang because this is one strong bad ass knife for the price, I have killed 4 pigs with it so far with the biggest being a 242 lb boar, I would bet you could run over it with a truck and it wouldn't break , it is well worth every penny!

The blade is 3/16" thick. I don't know how to measure the tang, as it is not a conventional tang. LOL! One solid piece of 1085 carbon steel, don't think you have to worry about breaking it under normal use. Very nice knife.

I believe it is a quarter of a inch thick. It is durable to me. I use it for the garden and prepping.
